david: peter, will there be, i know the president and congress is all focused on the fiscal cliff, will there be any negotiations before the december 31 deadline on the debt ceiling number or will they table that and let treasury deal with it until they have to? >> the white house would like there to be one global deal that includes the debt ceiling but republicans are hearing nothing of that. the president proposed let's get rid of actually having firm vote on raising the debt ceiling, let's reduce a simpler system because of it rattles the market too much but republicans are saying they want to hold the debt ceiling in reserve in the negotiations because if you can't get a deal on taxes or prove some legislation december 31 raising tax increases, they want to use the debt ceiling to force negotiations on spending cuts going forward, david. david: tim geithner is on his own until the first of the year. >> yes. david: appreciate it. shibani: a look at the s&p futures including going back to the cme group. mark. >> looks like we gave away another $1.50 after close. i cannot imagine a goo

is democrats and republicans because last year when we were in this fix couldn't get out of the debt ceiling crisis it was harry reid, the democrat leader in the senate and mcconnell, the republican leader who emerged as adults in the room and worked up something that got through congress. we are on the verge of something like that or at least an attempt to replicate that. how much of a role will whitehouse play, might just be as in 2011 the two senate leaders decide they can take care of this themselves. we will see when president obama gets back tomorrow. dennis: small, thinking a smaller deal rather than something sweeping. >> there was a sense the week or two ago that you have a big deal or we go off of the cliff but dynamics change next week and the reality is what is possible here is a small deal probably something that deals with the tax breaks or tax levels for most americans under $250,000 or maybe half a million dollars being extended, great uncertainty about everything else including tax rate for others in spending cuts and decisions kicked into next year seem to be possible and i

if you look at the bipartisan agreement that is have come to this congress, the multiple agreements to avert shutdown, a debt ceiling deal two summers ago, oftentimes started with negotiations between the speaker of the house and president and ended being mostly in negotiation between the two senate leaders, getting enough republican senate votes to give people in the house cover and providing a lot of democratic votes in the house to pass it. you will have conservatives in the house that aren't going to support any plan you put forward. >> regardless, right. >> so you need democratic support and this idea that what happened last week with the boehner back-up plan meant that no plan will pass at all is misguided. this is how it rolls out every time but it's a matter of how large in scope to be to get enough votes. you can't go too far in one direction and alienate democratic votes and in the other way the more middle of the road republicans who support boehner is going to need. >> some are saying it looks intractable given the sequester, the triggers that were put in to the deal and ye

we are talking about the debt ceiling. here, you will see a slight change in style of congress. there is a camp in the republican camp that says let's do nothing until we get to debt ceiling because that re-established our ledge. there is a movement that the president and congress say we're not going to play hostage again where we get downgraded and the country is on a real cliff and not pay our bills. there is a chance democrats look at republicans, say, fine, don't raise the debt ceiling, the fault of the united states of america will be on your shoulders. i hope we don't get that and get the out-line of a deal in coming weeks. it will have to address everything, tax writing committees and spending committees to do the larger deal, grand bargain in time. the debt ceiling thing, i hope that comes off the table. >> what's your thought on raising the retirement age at any degree, i'm sorry the age of eligibility for medicare benefits. >> for medicare benefits, republicans were running with that a long time. came to realize because what you were doing is you were taking the younge

i think messing around with not raising the debt ceiling and risking the default on the american debt was probably the most irresponsible thing we've seen this congress do, but the thing we need to remember, this is the same congress that did that, the same congress that put the gun to the head of the american economy over raising the debt limit, which means paying bills for things we've already done. knowing this is the same group and we haven't entered the 113th congress yet, it's not surprising they are willing to do this with the fiscal cliff. it's clear also they don't care about deficits, because the two things they can't agree is rescind all the spending cuts in defense, in the sequester, which, of course, would raise the deficit if they did that, and they can't agree to any tax increases at all, even though tax increases would reduce the deficit. >> catherine, isn't it their deficit in large part deficit? >> of course, but they have political amnesia. ideology is the science of idiots. here's one of these moments where when you live inside the box and refuse to look at empiric
